I haven't even been following the show much this year, too busy, but for the first time in eight years I've been riled enough to make a complaint to CBS, and it's these incestuous insinuations which have set me off. Those kinds of vile remarks can follow someone forever, and ruin lives. Ugh.

As much as I hate the things Dick is saying I realize he is doing it for a reason and is allowed to do it in the context of the BB game. I also hate the things that Eric says like the incest statements but also realize that BB will decide if they want that to be said. The only thing I say is that if he is suppose to be America's Player we should be ask if we want to be represented by a vile person like Eric. I doubt we would. I can only hope that Jess and some of the others he says this to will be revolted enough at the mere statements of incest between D and D by Eric to make them see what he really is like. He is an embarrasment to America.

I agree Cmist. Eric does not represent me. I would love to be in the room with Dick when he watches for the first time what Eric has been saying. Eric plays like a coward of the worse kind

Guys, I only hope Eric waits for America's choice Tuesday night if it is Dustin up against Dick. It would be awesome to see America force Eric to evict Dustin (I don't really hate the guy) but it would be such a jaw-dropper!!! Even if Dick still loses it would make the others wonder who is the mystery vote again. Let's say everyone, but Daniele says, I vote Dustin out. The will all know that Dustin is getting one vote for eviction, but when they see two votes (America's vote, I do hope so) then they will have to start figuring out again who is the traitor. Jen and Zach would have promised to vote out Dick. So, who is the second vote??

After the POV competition, Eric tore into Dani, saying that she never tried to stop her dad, and that she was just as bad as he was. Eric failed to mention the kindness that Dani showed him, when he was all but evicted. She is young and naive and allowed him to use her HOH room to campaign....which I am certain the other hgs would not have done, and in my opinion, his lobbying on a one to one basis in HER room is the reason he is still in the house. He should be appreciative to Dani, rather than put her down. As far as being America's choice goes, I wonder if BB told him that it was the one spot left in the house and he could take it or leave it. He obviously took it, and I feel he should honour it. Off my soapbox now.

I think they may be pressuring Zach and Jen to vote out Dick but when they see there might be a possiblitlity to vote out Dustin they will get on board with it. Dick may even tell them that Eric may still vote against Dustin.

I don't understand why anyone who is in favor of the America's player concept would want to see Eric in the final two. That would take away our vote entirely in the finals!

Anyone who says this should be evicted....Eric, in no way should represent us. Sat 5:57 PM BBT Eric: come fall, she'll (Dani) be pregnant with his (ED) baby NT - luvmykitties He also said the same thing about Jen....he is one <93> ...we should all complain to CBS....they sure helped him stay last Thursday!

One of the disconnects with America's Player is the conflict between what Eric wants to do to get to the end and win the 500k and what America wants him to do to influence the game in the direction of America's favorites. This is going to get even worse now. I've always supported the idea that Eric should be free to choose how hard he works on his tasks to get his bonus. However, at this point there is a real conflict of interest between Eric and the BB fans. As a fan, I want a vote at the end! The only way for us to get that vote is for Eric not to make the final two. And many fans will double their efforts to make Eric lose – just for that reason. The only way Eric could have even had a semi-chance at success in the game is to almost completely get the majority of the viewers on his side. He has failed miserably at that task.

I have always said I wanted Eric in the game long enough to go to sequester so that I get a vote in F2... Jimmer, I think the reason he failed so miserably at getting a majority of viewers on his side is trying to stay to steps ahead of America and figure out where America's brain was two weeks in advance of actually getting there. Just my personal opinion and I hope it makes sense!

I agree Lainee - well said. Eric thought he could direct America's strategy and he thought that America would vote based on strategy and his interests in the game. Instead, America voted based on their strategy and their fan favorites, regardless of how it impacted Eric. I'm not saying that America was at all wrong to do that. It's all a matter of how each person wants to play the game.

I've said this before someplace...In order to vote solely based on what is in the best interest of Eric, that would mean Eric would have to be our favorite player. No way I am going to vote for Eric to do something against any player I like better just because it's in his best interest.

THEY drew First Blood... It is my belief that Dick/Dani drew first blood when turning against their alliance (Eric). The banner is what did the AP's game in, IMO.

One thing that has surprised me all season long is that Eric doesn't talk personally to cameras when he is alone to talk to the audience. Have we seen him do that at all?

LOL.. I love that movie It just would be nice to know what is going on behind his facade to the other HGs. Right now all we can see is his facade and no reasoning behind it other than a snippet on the tv show once in a blue moon.

I disagree that Dick would have been a great AC. He can't keep a thought to himself, crows about the slightest victory, and blurts out everything when he's upset. IMHO he would be the worst! And I would like to see more of Eric's behind-the-scenes thoughts but so much has to get packed into each show that it would be hard to give more weight to one player than another. When I think about it, though, it's unfair for America to get a vote when so many voters are people that only get their info through the editors' whims. It should just be people who live in that hellhouse that get to decide. [Gosh, after years of complaining, who'd guess I could reverse myself completely in two sentences?]

Well, then it really looks bad for Dick and America will choose him instead of Dustin. Please, just vote Dustin to make it less predictable.... I'm bored with AP if it's going to be Dick. The guy is already willing to go, just surprise me, will ya??

There's another thing... Eric just really isn't all that likeable. America isn't stoopid, although Eric seems to think we are. Personally, I think that Eric's ego has gotten too big for the house. And I think it started out quite big, by having been selected by BB to be America's Player. I think he's a distasteful man, and the fact that he is still in the house is the reason I've not watched the feeds or the show.
